Electric Vehicle[1] buyers in the US looking for a good deal now have three models to choose from, as General Motors[2] just announced that pricing for the 2014 Chevy Spark EV starts at $27,495. Buyers can also lease the EV for as low as $199 a month, which is the same monthly rate as the Fiat 500e[3] and the Nissan Leaf[4].

Pricing for the 2014 Chevy Spark EV[5] starts at $27,495, but after the available tax credit, the price drops down to $19,995. Buyers may also qualify for state and local tax credits, which could drop the Spark EV’s final price down to $17,495.

“The Chevrolet Spark EV[5] is the most efficient – and now one of the most affordable – EVs you can buy” said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet[6] Marketing. “Combined with outstanding infotainment and great design, the fun-to-drive Spark EV is engineered to impress.”

The Spark EV has an estimated driving range of 82 miles and is also the first vehicle on the market that is available with a new SAE[7] combo charger for DC Fast Charging. The DC Fast Charging capability allows the Spark EV[8] to recharge up to 80 percent of its capacity in only 20 minutes.

The 2014 Spark EV [8]will be available throughout California and Oregon beginning mid-June 2013.
